"But speaking of which... I haven't seen Blanche in a long time, it seems. Oyado, I remember after you wrapped her up like a rice dumpling, I saw her hiding and avoiding us. Have you done anything to her since then?"
As we walked towards the location the Blue Ocean Knights had told us about, I asked.
Blanche, that idiot, used to cause trouble everywhere before, but after that day, I only caught glimpses of her from afar. Even if I wanted to say hello, she always seemed startled and then disappeared.
"I just said that if I ever saw you near my brother, I would package you and send you to the Eastern Continent."
"... Oyado, I don't recall teaching you to do such things. If you were to package anyone, it should be me... Ahem, well, you shouldn't bully others so casually after all. After all, Blanche is still our companion."
I felt a terrifying gaze behind me just now, but it must have been my imagination since it's Aliyah behind me.
"Yeah, I understand, big brother."
"You two siblings seem to have a lot of fun together~"
"Aliyah-chan, isn't it a good thing to maintain a good sibling relationship?"
"Chan..."
Aliyah seemed to shudder all over.
"Why are you adding this strange suffix as well?"
"Why? Is it not okay?"
"Well... it's not that it's not okay, but..."
Aliyah seemed hesitant to speak and then looked directly to the side.
"Hmph, do whatever you want!"
Seriously, this girl loves to sulk.
"Aren't you adorable, Aliyah sister~"
Oyado hugged Aliyah and nuzzled her face.
"What are you doing~ Ahhhhh"
...
It would be great if Dale and the others could invent cameras or something.
"Hey hey hey! What do you mean bringing two little girls like them! Are you looking down on us?!"
While Aliyah and Oyado were playing around, we had arrived at the open space in front of the library. I don't know why the members of the Blue Ocean Knights chose this place, but... it doesn't matter, does it?
"I say, Marsha, as challengers, we naturally know our own strength, so why don't you accept this challenge?"
"S-sounds right! Fine then! Let's have a good fight!"
After saying that, she took out her own heavy hammer and slammed it on the ground.
Seriously, it's not right to damage public property. No wonder I often see cracks on the floor of the academy, it's because of you.
Her weapon is a blue heavy hammer, one side seems to fold up rhythmically, and the other side is filled with spikes.
And she is wearing not heavy armor, but leather armor. It seems that in order to use the heavy hammer more flexibly, she sacrificed the defensive power of heavy armor.
Interesting.
Marsha Lenna
Female Heavy Hammer User LV35, Novelist LV23
Neutral, Happy, [Blue Anchor of Delicacy], Latent Berserker, Captain of the Blue Ocean Knights, ???, ???.
Although there are still question marks inside, I'm too lazy to gather information using [All-knowing Eye], there will be another chance.
As for the other two, one is called Maritus Mond, a level 33 Knight Spearman, and the other is Faas Raimon, a level 20 Wind Mage.
They directly used mages this time? Not bad.
"It seems you are well-prepared. Well, let's begin!"
"Of course! But I have an additional condition!"
Marsha suddenly said.
Huh?
"A condition? What is it?"
"That is, the person who loses will treat the winner to dinner!"
...
"Huh?"
Does this girl still remember the dinner conversation from last time?
"I understand, then let's get started quickly."
"Hehe! Don't let me beat you and ruin your appetite!"
"Don't worry, that won't happen. You can trust me on that."
I smiled, then took out the new weapon that Lanya had designed according to my specifications - the Magic Armlet, and put it on.
I always feel that it's too much trouble to carry a magic staff when using magical weapons. But since I have a hidden sleeve sword on my wrist, I asked Lanya to make a sleeve badge-style magical equipment for me. It's basically taking the crystal off the magic staff and embedding it into the sleeve badge. I asked Lanya to make a sleeve badge for each element, and I can switch between them in the menu.
In my hand, I hold the demon blade Blood Moon that Bai Yueguang gave me before.
"Using a sword? A mage using a sword, and such a thin one at that. You really know how to irritate people!" Marsha stared at me and said.
"Ah, you really talk too much. As an opponent, do you really think all these words are necessary?"
"You... Ah! I've decided that I will beat you until you can't stand up!"
After saying that, a massive "battle enchantment" instantly expanded across the square, encompassing us.
As expected of a team battle, the opponent immediately took their positions.
The knight lancer charged to the front, holding his shield up.
Behind him stood Marsha with her heavy hammer, and, at the rear, was the wind element mage.
"Oyado, I'll leave the mage to you. Don't go too hard on him, just prevent him from casting magic. Oh, and give him the chance to use magic at least once since he came all this way."
"Understood~"
"Aliyah..."
"Ah, I got it. Strategy is not really my thing. It's so troublesome, so usually I just solo."
"I can imagine."
I nodded.
"Then, it's your responsibility to prevent that knight lancer from interfering with the battle."
"Hehe, no problem!"
With that, she transformed into a red streak and charged forward, reaching the knight lancer in less than two seconds.
Then her figure flashed, appearing behind the knight once again!
The blade flashed, and blood spurted from the joints of the opponent's armor!
"Ah!"
And from this angle, the opponent couldn't turn around and counterattack, only able to watch as they were attacked.
"Die!"
Marsha swung her heavy hammer towards Aliyah, but the hammer hit a wall of ice!
Ultimate skill: Compression: Ice Emperor Palace!
Using shape-shifting magic, I compressed the giant ice wall to the size of a shield, instantly doubling its defense and durability.
And it's much more convenient to use.
The only downside is that the patterns on it look terrible, after all, it was created from the exterior patterns of the Emperor Palace.
Ice Totem!
At the same time, I directly used the Ice Totem to push Marsha away.
"Your opponent is me. This is a duel between the leaders."
"You guys... really lack team spirit."
"We'll just treat it as a mixed 3v3 battle."
I smiled and drew out my demon blade.
"So, let's begin."
